I have an NAA with a bad top bearing on the steering shaft. I bought top and bottom, plus the very top bushing and spring.
When I look at these new bearings (I bought em here) the just don't seem to want to fit in the bearing race like I expect. Maybe I expect them to act like tapered roller bearings, but they don't. I am talking about the bearing and the race that came new, together. They are made in china, which is never a big seller to any of us that do our own work.
The bottom bearing looked pretty good still, as it never lacked any lubrication. I thought about just reusing it.
Anybody else bought new steering bearings and were hesitant to install them? Or am I thinking too much? Should I use that bottom bearing over? It seems to act like I expect a bearing to act....
